Domain name disputes

Disputes relating to registered .RS and .СРБ domains are resolved before the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Committee for the Resolution of Disputes Relating to the Registration of National Internet Domains. Dispute proceedings are conducted according to the Rules for Proceedings for the Resolution of Disputes Relating to the Registration of National Internet Domains, approved by the RNIDS Conference of Co-founders.

In submitting an application for the registration of a national Internet domain, and hence accepting the general terms and conditions, the registrant accepts the authority of the Committee. The plaintiff, in initiating proceedings before the Committee, accepts the authority of the Committee for the Resolution of Disputes Relating to the Registration of National Internet Domains. In accepting the authority of the Committee, the parties to the procedure do not relinquish rights to recourse to the courts in regard to the dispute.

RNIDS and the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, according to established international practice, approach the resolution of any disputes that arise in relation to rights to registered national domains through a committee-based process. This approach is a faster, cheaper and more effective process of dispute resolution as compared to bringing those processes before a court.
